The Féderation Internationale de Natation (FINA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Swimmer for three whereabouts filing failures. The Swimmer has not or has not timely sent his whereabouts information to FINA for the 4th quarter of 2009, and 1st and 2nd quarters of 2010. The Swimmer was notified by FINA and heard for the FINA Doping Panel in August 2010.
The Swimmer stated in that period he was in poor psychological state because of his serious shoulder injury and surgery and recovery period hereafter. Swimmer had no intention to cheat and resumed sending his whereabouts information regularly again from 1 March 2010.
Considering the circumstances the FINA Doping Panel decides to impose a 1 year period of ineligibility on the Swimmer starting from 20 August 2010.
